A NEBRASKA man lately got a divorce from his wife because, as the petition recited, she was "the most accomplished liar in the world," and had "told 10,000 lies." Is Nebraska trying to get the Deadwood on Dakota in the matter of divorce?

IT was back in 1865, when Cyrus W. Field was continually talking and planning how to lay the Atlantic cable. "Oh dear, Cyrus," said his wife, one night,

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN made a more substantial will than did Samuel J. Tilden. The latter's testamentary desires were ignored by the courts of New York soon after his death, but after more than a century the Su" preme Court of Pennsylvania declares that the will of the former must stand. The discoverer of electricity left a fund to enable mechanics to marry. His heirs of the pres" ent day, who do not want mechanics to marry at the expense of Franklin's estate, asked the Court to turn the money over to them, but the Court said them nay.

ABOUT six months ago an Indian named O-we-o of the Umatilla reservation in Oregon, was killed by a railroad train. Some time previous to his death he had borrowed $20 from a bank in Pendleton, giving his note, secured bjr the name of another Indian, She-wa-wa. O-we-o's wife, Lucy, skinned dead sheep found on the range during the winter and spring, and hustled hard in other ways until she had scraped together about $25. Last week she went to the bank and paid her husband's note, and also insisted on paying the interest to the astounded cashier. The bank refused to accept the interest,

THE department of transportation exhibits of the Columbian Exposition, covering railways, vessels and Vehicles, gives notice that all applications for space must be made before August 1. Applications already received call for at least twice as much space as the department has at its disposal. But applications received up to the close of the current month will receive consideration. In the allotment of space which will then begin, the value and importance of each exhibit in its relation to the whole will be duly considered. Ex. liibitors are urged to plan for the

best exhibit possible, rather than the largest, and to study especially econ-

IrtolANAP0L13 recently enjoyed some fine horse-racing, and may now be considered reasonably happy, Horse-racing in itself is not condemned as an evil by a large part ol the people, but the gambling that seems to go with it so naturally is. At the Indianapolis races the gambling was in broad daylight. No attempt at concealment was made. Not only were the book makers many and loud, but gambling devices of various kinds were exposed to the public view, and the patronage, except as to the amounts wagered, would have done credit to Monte Carlo. In one instance an •'Old Hy" plant was run with twelve tables, and the public crowded each other in their efforts to place their money. The gamblers consisted of all ages and kinds—boys from fifteen up, who could not afford to risk more than 10 cents on the turn of the dice business men who rapidly dropped silver dollars into the pockets of the proprietors, and old men who ought not to be guilty of gambling under any circumstances. Why should

COLUMBUS'S LONG TRIP

An Appropriate Observance of the Anniversary at Falos, Spain, by the Spanish Cruisers.

A special from Palos, Spain, August 3d, says: This is the four hundredth anniversary of the day on which Columbus set sail from Palos, westward on his voyage of discovery, and the festivities arranged here for celebrating the day were carried out with great eclat. The view from town, however, was obscured by a thick mist, which hungover the river and rendered it Impossible to see more than a dim outline of the hulls of the vessels lying at an 6bor. At 6 o'clock, the hour at which'Columbus began 'his voyage, tho caravel, Santa Maria, constructed in imitation of the vessel of that name# belonging to theA Columbus expedition, which •had been lying off shore-all night,-set 'her

sails lor her passage through the lines of war ships anchored outside the bar, but owing to the preva lence of a dead calm, a line was run to her from a gun-boat and she wa9 towed down stream, followed by,the Spanish flotilla in single file, Minister of Marine Montigo being on board the war-ship Legisipi. The voyage down the river past the Monastery of Larabida, on which building the flags of all the American States were flying, to the bar occupied about an hour. Outside the bar were moored the vessels of tho foreign squadrons which had come to take part in the celebration. These vessels were formed in lino, between which tho caraval passed amid thunderous salutes and deafening cheers. The mist and the smoke from the guns made it impossible to watch the maneuvers of the^caraval, which followed foi some distance the route taken by Columbus four years ago. At 9 the littlo vessel returned and re-entered the river. The town of Helva is crowded with visitors, and all the buildings, both private and public, are gaily decorated.

M'KINLEY IN IOWA.

The Questions of Free 'Coinage and Tariff Discussed.

He Bays Short Hollar is Worse Than

Short Crop—Ten Thousand People Hear Him.

Governor McKinley addressed 10,001 people at Council Bluffs, Iowa, on the 4th. He said:

I shall speak on the subjects of money and taxation. The Democratic platform! of late years have declared in favor of fre« silver, but when in the last Congress thej had a majority they failed to pass a free coinage bill against the opposition of a solid Republican minority and deserteri from tho Democratic ranks. What we want is a dollar worth a hundred cents, here as well as elsewhere. Be It silver, paper or gold,the Republican party insists and has always insisted, that it should be worth a hundred cents. If there be two kinds of money in circulation of different values, every one knows that the cheaper money drives the good money out of circulation. The 100-cent dollar won't associciate with the83-cent dollar. [Laughter.] "During the war you did not see any gold in circulation at all. Now there aro ^700,000.00) in circulation, as the result of the redemption act of 1879. Some will claim that the silver dollar will buy as much as the gold dollar, but it must be remembered that the silver dollar is now coined only to a limited extent. If there were free coinage it would mean that every man having silver bullion could take it to the government mints and get it coined. Now the government retains the difference between the value of tho silver coined in a dollar and t.hs 100 cents' worth of silver, and thus makes the profit, ivhereas were there free coinage the silver men would get the 'rake off.' We do not want any short dollars in this country. A short dollar is worse than a short crop. A kind Providence may follow a short crop with a good one, but Providence has nothing to do with the lengthening of the short dollar. [Laughter.] "Coming to the subject of taxation, I would say that if we had the power we would abolish all taxation. We don't like it, but it is necessary to sustain the govsrnment. The question, is how to raise it. The revenue tariff advocated by tho Demjcrats encourages no American industry, it is levied in cold business blood. It considers only the country, not the home. The consumer pays it. Tho Republican protective tariff, on the other hand, taxes the foreigner."

Governor McKinley then went on to show that protection benefited tho farmer by giving him a near-by market. He declared that the old farmers who founded the Republic originated protection. He showed the advantage of the. high tariff oy comparing the conditiona of tho country under the high and low tariffs. Referring to Republican defeat 18t 0, he said he McKinley law was only four months jid then and too young to speak for itself. Now it can and isspeakins for itself.

STEVENSON SPEAKS.K-z

The Guest of the Watterson Club at Louisville-

Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson, candidate for Vice-President, participated in the opening of the Watterson Club House at Louisville, on the evening of August 4. In the course of his remarks, referring to the ivil war, he said: "From tho beginning to tho close of that great conflict I was for the maintenance ftt whatever cost, of our federal Union. With the crowning victory at Appomattox the disbanding of hostile armies and the restoration of federal authority in all the States came questions which, to the people of the South, overshadowed all other question's, I believed with tho Democratic party in the North that, with our arms triumphant, the perfect restoration of the Union was to be wrought out, not in the spirit of hate, but in the loftiest spirit of patriotism—that sublime patriotism which inspired the words, "With malice toward none^with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right"With some of the States of this Union the period of reconstruction was but another name for misrule, for political ostracism of the white race, for robbery of a people already impoverished by war, for outrage upon rights of property and of people—so monstrous as now almost to challenge belief. In a word, all that was loathsome, and all that was offensive, and that was called government in many of the Southern States, can be summed up In tho one word, 'reconstruction.' "It would servo
